Water During The Winter Pays Off Next Spring

Winter Watering Helps Preserve Lawns

As we look ahead to colder temperatures and grass in your lawn that will go dormant until Spring, now is a good time to reach out to your customers with recommendations on fertilization and watering.

There is still time to fertilize and provide lawns with the nutrients to prepare for dormancy. Graff’s Turf fertilizer blend, available in 40 pound bags (covering 8,000 sq. ft.), has everything a lawn needs for the season.

Winter watering is rarely discussed, but can make a dramatic impact on the health of your lawn when the weather warms next year. An article published on-line by Colorado Springs Utilities offers a helpful checklist for homeowners (and commercial property owners) regarding both fertilization and watering.

It is most critical to water in March and April when the new roots are forming.

The dehydration that many lawns suffer during the winter is harmful to the root system, and strong, healthy roots are needed to produce healthy plants. This is especially true of newly installed sod, where roots are still establishing.

Fescue Adds To Metco Landscape’s Loveland Project

With the successful installation of GTF Tall Fescue at the Ashley Estates apartment complex in Loveland, Colorado, we thank long-time customer Metco Landscape for the opportunity of participating in their outstanding work.

The installation of 45,000 sq. ft. of drought-resistant sod along with Metco’s landscaping took the stark terrain and turned it into a beautiful setting for this all-new multi-family residential complex.
